Yes.  Thanks for your message, Nate.  Although it isn't 100% official yet, I
think chances are good that it will be.

SPI has had a tough time really getting off the ground, but we're starting
to see more interest in it these days.  I think it can be a powerful force
for good out there.  SPI is also the parent of several other non-Debian
organizations, including the OFTC IRC network.
